#bjbe,mr4 ,schumer 7for himself1 ,mr4   
,reed1 ,mr4 ,warner1 ,mrs4 ,shaheen1 and
 ,mr4 ,coons7 submitted the following   
resolution2 which was referred to the   
,committee on ,foreign ,relations       
,,resolution  ,condemning ,russia's     
devastating aerial bombardment on the   
people of ,ukraine1 particularly the use
 of increasingly advanced ballistic     
missiles1 and expressing support for    
securing more air defense systems4      
,whereas1 between ,january and ,may     
#bjbe1 hundreds of ,ukrainian civilians 
have been killed and injured in ,russian
 ballistic missile attacks in ,ukraine1 
including during the ,palm ,sunday      
attack on ,sumy which killed #ce        
civilians and injured #aac1 and another 
attack in ,april on a playground in     
,kryvyi ,rih that killed #bj people1    
including #i children1 and injured #ge2 
,whereas the ,government of ,russia has 

employed ballistic missiles in its      
attacks on civilian infrastructure1     
obliterating over half of ,ukraine's    
power generation capacity1 leaving      
hospitals1 schools1 and countless       
,ukrainian families without power1 and  
risking nuclear catastrophe2 ,whereas   
,north ,korea has reportedly supplied   
,russia with approximately #bej         
ballistic missiles since fall #bjbd1 and
 whereas1 according to reports from     
,ukrainian air defense forces1 ,russia  
has used ,north ,korean ,,kn-#bc        
missiles in #f out of #i ballistic      
attacks on ,ukraine in ,may #bjbe2      
,whereas the range1 speed1 and power of 
,russia's ballistic missiles1 including 
their ground-launched short-range       
ballistic missile1 hypersonic           
air-launched ballistic missile1 and     
experimental intermediate-range         
ballistic missile1 have allowed ,russia 
to terrorize the people of ,ukraine and 
damage the infrastructure that the      
civilian population relies on to sustain

 life under ,russia's aggression2       
,whereas1 while ,ukraine has            
successfully developed and employed     
domestically produced air defenses and  
,western assistance to counter drones   
and cruise missiles1 defense against    
,russian ballistic missile attacks is   
only possible with sophisticated air    
defense systems1 primarily the ,united  
,states ,army's ,,patriot air defense   
system1 augmented by a network of short-
 and medium-range air defense systems   
across the country2 ,whereas the cost   
and consistency of ,russia's ballistic  
missile attacks have rendered the unique
 need for comprehensive air defense     
systems a matter of life or death for   
the people of ,ukraine2 and ,whereas    
,secretary of ,state ,marco ,rubio cited
 ,ukraine's request for additional air  
defenses in testimony to ,congress on   
,may #bj1 #bjbe3 ,now1 therefore1 be it 
,that the ,senate-- 7#a7 condemns and   
rejects ,russia's illegal and unprovoked
 invasion of ,ukraine and its continued 

attempts to militarily seize sovereign  
territory2  7#b7 expresses continued    
solidarity with the people of ,ukraine  
who are on the frontlines of the fight  
for freedom against ,vladimir ,putin2   
7#c7 calls on the ,president to take    
swift action to identify additional air 
defense systems1 including advanced     
,,patriot air defense systems and       
interceptors2 ,national ,surface-to-,air
 ,missile ,systems 7,n,a,s,a,ms72 radar 
guided air-to-air missiles              
7,a,m,r,a,a,ms72 and other critical air 
defense systems within existing ,united 
,states stocks for transfer to ,ukraine 
to provide a layered defense against    
,russian attacks2  7#d7 calls on the    
,president to rapidly approve the       
reexport of ,united ,states air defense 
systems by our allies and partners to   
,ukraine1 particularly the most advanced
 systems2  7#e7 supports the continued  
and uninterrupted provision of ,united  
,states security assistance1 including  
training1 advisory support1 and         

intelligence regarding the disposition  
of ,russian forces and location data to 
strengthen ,ukraine's hand in direct    
discussions with the ,russian           
,federation to secure a lasting peace2  
and  7#f7 reaffirms that it must remain 
the policy of the ,united ,states to    
provide sustainable levels of security  
assistance to ,ukraine to provide a     
credible defense and deterrence capacity
 and support ,ukraine's sovereignty1
